How To Improve Indoor Air Quality In the Wintertime

Monday, February 1, 2016

You will probably be spending a lot of time indoors this winter. After all, it's cold out there during this time of year! However, this could be bad news for your health if your home has poor indoor air quality. Find out how to improve indoor air quality in the tips below.

Clean the Floor

Pollutants can get embedded into your floors and carpets. These harmful pollutants can encourage poor indoor air quality. To prevent this, be sure to clean your floors and carpets on a regular basis.

Change the Furnace Air Filter

A clogged or dirty air filter does not just prohibit airflow. It also puts dust, pollen and other allergens into the air. Be sure to clean or change out your furnace air filter once a month or as needed.

Be Wary of Chemicals in Household Cleaners

You may not think twice about your household cleaners. After all, they help your home look squeaky clean! Some of your favorite household cleaners might be laden with toxic chemicals. These chemicals can seep into the air. To avoid this, do not use synthetic cleaning products.

Add an Air Scrubber to Your Current HVAC system

Unlike air filters that are passive, an Air Scrubber actively, and continuously treats the air in your home to greatly reduce chemicals, dangerous contaminants, mold, odors, and pollutants.
